FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Water-proofing and Damp-proofing Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineerirg Division Council.

Bitumen felts may be of different types depending upon the raw material used and their cons-
truction. IS 1322; 1993 'Specification for bitumen felts for water proofing and damp-proofing
{fourth revision )' and IS 7193 : 1993 ^Specification for glass fibre base coal tar pitch and bitumen felts
( first revision )\ covers bitumen felts of hessian based and glass fibre base respectively. The above
standards require amongst other requirements, detailed testing of these products. Various methods
of test relating to each product for determination of physical properties have been included in the
separate standards. All types of felts have to satisfy some common essential physical requirements
for which methods of test are same. A series of standards covering methods of test have therefore
been formulated to cover the determination of various physical requirements of bitumen ielt.
This standard covers pressure head test. Other parts of the standard are as follows:

Part 1 Breaking strength test

Part 2 Pliability test

Part 3 Storage sticking test

Part 5 Heat resistance test

Part 6 Water absorption test

Part 7 Determination of binder content

The composition of the technical committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is
given in Annex A.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off
in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised)'. The number
of significant places retained in the rounded oflF value should be the same as that of the specified,
value in this standard.

BITUMEN BASED FELTS — METHODS

OF TEST

PART 4 PRESSURE HEAD TEST

1 SCOPE

This standard ( Part 4 ) covers the method for
determination of any leakage under a constant
pressure head of water.

2 REFERENCE

The Indian Standard IS 4911 : 1986 'Glossary of
terms relating to bituminous water-proofing and
damp-proofing of building' is necessary adjunct
to this standard.

3 TERMINOLOGY

3.0 For the purpose of this standard, the defini-
tions given in IS 4911 : 1986, shall apply.

4 APPARATUS

4.1 An arrangement to put a circular test piece
of dia 200 mm under a constant pressure head of
^ater of 300 mm ( for a typical arrangement of
the apparatus, see Fig. 1 ).

Fig. 1 Arrangement for Pressure Head Test

4.2 An arrangement to condition the sample at
a temperature of 5°C and 65 ± 2°C.

5 PROCEDURE

5.1 Preparation of Test Pieces

Six test pieces, at least 200 mm in diameter, shall
be cut from each of the samples selected in such
a manner that when the test piece is clamped
down, a part of it is always extending beyond
the clamping plate.

5.2 Conditioning

a) Three test pieces shall be conditioned for
3 h at 65 ± 2^C.

b) Three test pieces shall be conditioned at
S^'C or lower temperature as per require-
ment for 3 h and immediately tested.

5.3 Procedure

Test pieces conditioned as explained in 5.2
shall be placed one by one as shown in Fig. 1
and shall be subjected to constant pressure head
of 300 mm high and checked periodically for
any leakage for one hour.

6 REPORTING

Reporting shall include the following:

a) Date of testing,

b) Type of conditioning, and

c) Observation.
